APPRECIATION
The Dynamo of Dixter
Thursday, February 2, 2006; Page H06
Christopher Lloyd, the great English gardener who died on Friday, observed
plants with the critical eye of an artist and then recorded his perceptions
with the precision of a diarist. For more than 50 years, thus, we saw the
garden as he did, which is to say with astonishing insight.
He has been compared to the mother of English gardening, Gertrude Jekyll,
and its wild daughter, Vita Sackville-West, but in truth he remained a
gardener for our time, not theirs.
